You know what they say, “great things come in small packages,” and Sri Lanka does not disappoint. With its sapphire seas, wild roaming elephants, and jaw-dropping scenery, it won’t be long until you’ve fallen in love with the Pearl of the Indian Ocean. Wander ancient temples, rustle up a tasty curry, follow in Buddha’s footsteps on a pilgrimage to Adam’s Peak, and take an iconic train journey through the rolling tea plantations of Ella, before topping it all of with some sun-kissed beach-time. Magic.
